Clarity

What we don't do

No single-developer hires

We sell teams, not individual contractors.

No CV-selling / body shopping

We do not operate as a marketplace of resumés.

No generic 'outsourcing' framing

We position ourselves as an accountable engineering partner, not a commodity vendor.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this outsourcing?

Not in the generic sense. We provide dedicated, PM-led pods that act as your product team. We emphasise long-term alignment and product ownership, not headcount arbitrage.

What about NDA and confidentiality?

We sign NDAs on every engagement and follow strict data handling practices. We treat client confidentiality as a non-negotiable.

How do you ensure dedication?

Pods are dedicated to your product and time zone alignment, with a PM to ensure delivery rituals and regular reporting. We measure progress through sprint demos, velocity tracking, and transparent communication.

How fast can we start?

Typical ramp time is 2–6 weeks depending on pod composition and hiring needs. For urgent needs we offer a faster onboarding path by temporarily using senior contractors to bridge gaps.

Who owns IP?

Client owns the IP. We provide clear IP assignment clauses in our agreements to ensure the client retains full ownership.
